Your tunes determines at what speed the PCM will downshift you to 1/2/3. You have to be below a certain speed and exceed a certain TPS position.

If your truck isn't downshifting how you want it to(within reason), you need to tweak the tranny tables.

well mine at 70 it only drops to 3rd not 2nd, so then this would probably be a tuning issue
